Filling a project with transitions...

Hi there,
I work with a dutch version of PRE so i'm not familiar with the English expressions for certain things.
My projects have a lot of clips and pics in them. I always use one kind of transition between them (cross-fading).
After every clip I have to apply a transition manually.
Is it possible to fill a complete project with one kind of transition at once? That would save me a lot of time, clicking and effort...
Thanks for your replies!
Take Care!

Yes, there is.
Select all of the video and photos on your timeline, either by dragging across them or pressing Ctrl+a on your keyboard. Right-click on this group and you will find the option to Apply Default Transition between all of the clips.
By default, the Default Transition is the Cross Dissolve -- but you can set it to any transition you'd like.

Problem with projects with transitions

Hi everyone,
I have a (iMac 27-inch mid 2011) with 10.7.5. When I am working with a project in iMovie and in this project I insert transitions (effects into photos), I have a problem when I make export (share) of the project: at 4 minutes the iMovie makes freeze and it doesn't response. If I delete the transitions then the process works fine. The hard drive is empty (more that 800Gb empty)
I updated all the apps, I deleted (with AppCleaner) the iMovie and reinstalled it (with Mac App Store) but nothing.
There is some option like iPhoto to rebuild database with CMD + ALT or something?

Hi AppleMan1958,
The problem is that in the event I have only pictures, no videos. When I insert transition effects between images or insert music not export the video. If I remove all the transitions and music then there is no problem when exporting.
I tried to transfer the project with DropBox to other iMac and it works perfectly and I export the video without problems.
So the problem is in my iMac. Some plist that not erase AppCleaner?

Saving projects with Transitions and Titles - iMovie 3

Every time I edit a movie in iMovie 3, add transitions and titles, and then save, the next time I open the project, I get a window saying there are x number of stray clips (my transition and title clips) and would I like to move them to the clip panes or leave them alone. Either way, they end up being out of order. Why will they not stay in the edited order that I put them in, even after I hit Save?

I do Save the projects this way and all the clips show up in the edit panel below the clip frames. BUT, none of the Transition or Title clips stay in the edit panel below. Each time I open the saved project, a message window appears saying that there are x number of stray clips (the Transition and Title Clips). Then it asks me if I would like to leave them alone or put them in the clips pane. If I put them in the clips pane, then I have to once again reposition them where they belong in the edit panel below. This happens every time.

Linking three or more clips with transitions in FCP7

I am cutting my first lengthy FCP7 project from 15 minutes down to ten.
There are a few segments of this video which I would like to keep together -- link. None of these clips in these segments are linked together at all (no underlines).
However, I discover when I use the Command key and darken the two videoclips, the transition between them, and the audio clips that goes underneath all that, the Link function under Modify is greyed out. There's no way to treat these two video clips with transition along with the audio I set under it as a unit.
Am I doing this wrong or is there a workaround when I want to link multiple clips (i.e. three or more) together, even if it includes a transition between the video clips?
THANKS.

Two ways come to mind ... #1 Nest the clips - select (highlight) the clips in the Timeline, then go to Sequence->Nest Items.
#2 Set an IN and OUT point for the parts you want to combine, then export a self-contained movie. Import the resulting file into your project and use it to replace the original individual clips .

Issues with transferring CS5 project with Adobe Dynamic Links to CS5.5

Hello all!
Has anybody encountered the issue with transferring CS5 projects with Adobe Dynamic Links to CS5.5?
When I try to do it the movie hangs on at some clips which are AE compositions...
The CS5 project works perfectly.
All AE CS5 compositions are transerred to AE CS5.5 compositions.
All 'old' Adobe Dynamic Links in Pr CS5.5 project are changed to 'new' ones (I mean, links to AE CS5 composition changed to links to AE CS5.5 compositions)...
Any help will be appreciated

Tried to play around. Realised that a solution should be somewhere around re-rendering, 'cos linked AE compositions were always displayed in yellow as if they were original footages - even I changed a composition within AE, just transitions, if they were, changed to red in Pr Pro sequence...
However, I was unable to re-render 'Entire Work Area' even after deleting all Render Files, just 'Effects in Work Area'...
Then I simply created a new sequence and copied and pasted all the clips from original sequence. Now I was allowed to 'Render Entire Work Area'.
Voilà!

Problems with Transitions in FCP Exported Files - How to Fix?

I have completed an HD 16:9 project which plays properly with transitions in FCP 5.1.4, but when I export it, the transitions have a momentary "blink" to black just as the they begin, and then they complete normally -- a very distracting annoyance. I tried several different transitions, and the same problem occurs. I also tried exporting to several different formats and the problem persists. I also tried applying the flicker filter and the deinterlace filter with no success. I would appreciate any help!

I would also check to make sure the frame rates between your media and sequence really match. This type of thing has also been seen when working with 24p DV50 material - renders such as transitions were showing time shifts and repeated frames.
If this is HDV, you might try isolating one offending transition, exporting the clips as AIC and rebuilding an re-rendering it just to see if it helps. If it does, you could probably use media manager to convert all of the clips in your sequence and reconnect automatically.
Hope this helps -

Burning iDVD projects with external LaCie burner

I recently purchased a LaCie DL d2 DVD RW with LightScribe 16x from LaCie (12/07/2007). The primary reason for my purchase was that I wished to create/burn iDVD projects on my iMac computer. The reason that I needed this product was due to the fact that, when I purchased my iMac, I made an error and ordered the iMac with a combo rather than SuperDrive. So, while I am able to create iDVD projects and iMovies, I am unable to burn DVDs with my project.
Thus far, however, I have not been able to burn a DVD with any of my products. When I attempt a “burn” the Creating your DVD menu appears and when I put in a blank DVD+RW 4x 4/7GB, it goes through the process (Prepare,,, Process Menus... Process Slideshows... Process Movies and Burn procedures). The DVD is then ejected and a message says its done and is “cleaning up.” However, that message never leaves the screen and when I click on the “Cancel” button, nothing happens. The iDVD application seems to lock up and I have to do a “force quit.”
I have tried this with three different project, all with the same result. When I place the supposed “burn” DVD in the Combo Drive, it spins for a while and kicks the DVD out.
I have also tried launching Toast Titanium (software that came with the LaCie burner). However, I see no place where I can “drag & drop” a iDVD product to the “drop zone.’
Can you help me out. Should I be able to burn iDVD projects with this unit? If so, what am I doing wrong.
Thanks for any help that you can provide.

Need tech help creating project with PE11, Windows 7

I still need help creating a slideshow set to music for DVD playback at my 50th high school reunion.
Video Media = 700 still images in .jpg or .tff format. Pixel sizes range from 200x200 to over 3000x4000.
I first created this project using PE's presets and original image sizes. Images added to PE were more blurred than originals & images burned to DVD were even more blurred so I asked for advice.
Last week several people in the forum tried to help. I really appreciate everyone's suggestions but would still appreciate further advice.
Forum experts said to restart my project with project settings changed to DV 720x480...and to resize my images to 1000x750 pixels. Then today in a PE11 chat session, I was told something different: use project settings changed to DVD 720p 30 and resize only larger images down to 1280 x 720 (leave smaller images alone).
So what project settings and resizing should I use for better image clarity? How do I change project settings? By clicking on "new" under "file" >change project settings >DVD 720p 30 or something else?

Up-rezzing small Still Images, regardless of the program and the Scaling algorithm used, can lead to a diminished quality. As Steve says, pixels are created, where none existed. I try to stay away from up-rezzing, whenever possible, due to that diminished qualtiy.
If I have to work with very small Images, I often use another workflow, and a different asethetic choice. When faced with the prospect of using small Images, I will create a background of some sort (many options here), and then use that small Image at its original size, "framed" within that background - no Scaling involved, but obviously, that small Image will not fill the screen. The viewer usually has fewer problems with the small Image, than one that is larger, but has started to fall apart, due to the up-rezzing.
One "trick" that I use is to use that small Image AS the background, but alter it greatly, probably dropping its contrast and upping its brightness, and even adding a Blur to it, then do a PiP (Picture in Picture) of the Image at its original size. I might even create a "picture frame" in Photoshop, to really set that small Image apart from the background. That is but one of dozens of such possible treatments, and one is only limited by their imagination.
Another possible treatment would be to do a "photo wall" with several of the small Images in say a 3 x 2 matrix of PiP's. Sort of like a Contact Sheet.
Good luck,

I have put several clips with transitions into the timeline in final cut pro. There are two clips which are followed by transitions which do not play at the right speed. It is extremely frustrating, can anyone help?

I have put several clips with transitions into the timeline in final cut pro X. There are two separate clips which are followed by transitions which do not play at the right speed. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening - any thoughts/help?

The two HD clips were purchased from itunes (MPEG - 4) and converted to .mov for use in Final Cut Pro. Project properties - 720p HD 1280x720 (60p)
Is this enough information?

Editing Premiere cs4 project with premiere elements 9?

Can I open a premiere cs4 project with premiere elements 9 to edit it.
Thanks in advance

You are most welcome, though it's probably not the answer that you wanted.
There are just so very many differences between the two programs. As a test recently, I took a PREL from PrE 8, IIRC, and it would not even open in my PrPro 2.0, like my simple PrE 4 Projects would. That PrE 8 test Project was also simple, with no Themes, or Instant Movies - just Cuts and some common Transitions, no Effects. Just too different to Open.
Good luck,
Hunt

Layering Problems with Transitions

I'm working on a project with a shot that is zoomed in and rotated to compensate for a speaker's lean.
In the upper-left corner there is a black triangular space because where the frame is off, so I put a white generator behind it to blend in.
Whenever I transition away from this shot, you can clearly see the black triangle that I was trying to cover up. I've tried making the two layers a compound clip, using different types of transitions, layering the incoming and outgoing clips differently, and animating opacity instead of transitions.
Is there something I'm missing or is this yet another amateur-hour moment from FCPX?

Do a search of this forum and your manuals for "handles" ... this could be your prob. You need at least 15 spare frames on each shot your are transitioning from/to ... that is, frames not included in the shot. Try trimming some of the clips and see where that gets you

Problems with transitions in 10.0.6

I just started a new project with 10.0.6 and have found two things. First I see they have removed the ability to set a transition on the timeline using the right mouse button. I have gotten used to doing it this way and now its gone. Now I have to move my hands and type command t. To bad I liked having it in the drop down menu. Also I found that anytime I set a transition between basic text on the time line and a video source I now get flashing during the transition even after rendering. I hope this magically goes away. Anyone else having these troubles. If so is there a fix.

If you updated FCPX .0.6 over 0.5, you might be experiencing some weirdness. The best practices from Apple, I believe, was incomplete.
Try deleting preferences first (and I almost never recommend this! http://digitalrebellion.com/prefman) I had to do a complete "fresh" re-install after completely deleting any traces of FCPX. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5149)
For your first issue: the Basic Cross Dissolve is in the Effects browser under Dissolves. Just position the playhead either at the cut (up down arrows will position at cut edges) or over a clip (and the transition will be added at the front and back ends) or select several clips in the storyline -- and double click on the cross dissolve transition in the browser to add them. [Getting used to typing Command T is probably marginally easier -- plus, now you can set your choice of default transition by right clicking on any transition in the browser and selecting Make Default from the popup.]
The Add Cross Dissolve is still available with right click ON A GAP... go figure... By all means -- send Apple some feedback!
I am not experiencing your second problem. A basic transition from Basic text to a clip is smooth.

Is there a way of working collaboratively on a flex project with a small project group?

Is there a way of working collaboratively on a flex project with a small project group?
I am part of a small group of developers who wish to work on a single flex project together. Is there a way to set up flex so that the project can be developed by multiple people at the same time. I have seen one thread out on the internet about working locally and then uploading to SVn but this is not an option in this case.
Any ideas.
Many thanks in advance
Dave

I would say that rushing into development without a source-control system will cost you more in the long-run. If your organisation is serious about developing software it then it needs to invest in the necesary infrastructure, so you should get that process kicked-off as soon as possible.
In the interim you could set-up a source control server on one developer's machine or commandeer a spare machine to use as a temporary source control server. Just make sure you have it backed-up regularly. Or you could use one of the online source control services; many will support private repositories for a small fee.

the old apps are on my computer but they have had upgrades since they were put on the ipod originally. you think you would get a warning about this when you restored. I was not worried about losing the progress of the apps but i would have been worried about the app it self!!!!!
